What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VEC is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit is at an all-time high. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 0.1% to 14.6% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+21.2pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 21.47%, rising 21.2pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 11.6pp and Gross margin fell 8.8pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 37.7pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 1.2pp.
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 197.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 38.9pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 177.9 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 13.81%, rising 13.3pp. That translates to 13.81 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 16.9pp and capital turnover rose 0.11x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 177.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Investment Takeaway
The business is showing a brighter picture at the headline-earnings level, but what deserves a closer look right now is the quality of that improvement. Margins and net profit may look better, but if financial income, other income, or unusually low taxes contribute too much, this is not yet a clean enough growth base to extrapolate further. The main bright spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 21.2 pp. Even so, the earnings mix still warrants monitoring in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 185.7%. The residual risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 178 days.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 21.47% after expanding 21.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.94x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 185.7% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 177.9 days.
